Information processing apparatus, display control method, and recording medium
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus connectable to a bus, the bus being connected to a further apparatus, said information processing apparatus comprising:
- a detecting circuit operable to detect whether the bus is connected to said information processing apparatus;
a first control circuit; and
a further circuit;
said first control circuit being operable to control a power supply circuit such that the power supply circuit provides power to said further circuit when said detecting circuit detects that the bus is connected to said information processing apparatus and does not provide power to said further circuit when said detecting circuit detects that the bus is not connected to said information processing apparatus.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus is connectable to a bus that is connected to a further apparatus. A detecting circuit detects whether the bus is connected to the information processing apparatus. When the detecting circuit detects that the bus is connected to the information processing apparatus, a control circuit controls a power supply circuit such that the power supply circuit provides power to a further circuit. When the detecting circuit detects that the bus is not connected to the information processing apparatus, the control circuit controls the power supply circuit such that the power supply circuit does not provide the power to the further circuit.

17. A recording medium recorded with a program for carrying out a method of controlling power within an information processing apparatus that is connectable to a bus, the bus being connected to a further apparatus, said method comprising:
-
detecting whether the bus is connected to the information processing apparatus; and
controlling a power supply circuit such that the power supply circuit provides power to a given circuit located within the information processing apparatus to carry out a further step when the bus is connected to the information processing apparatus and does not provide the power to the given circuit when the bus is not connected to the information processing apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
